Both the sonic-echo and the transient shock methods are dynamic methods that make use of the properties of stress wave propagation in piles, however, analyses are performed in different domains. Theoretical aspects of waves in rod-like structures were studied to obtain a sound understanding of the two testing methods. Testing and analysis techniques were investigated with the aim of ensuring that necessary information could be extracted from the test results and then interpreted correctly. The instrumentation system was constantly upgraded and improved in order to provide a fast and reliable system both for experimental and site testing. Simulation techniques, in the time domain and in the frequency domain, were developed to help the understanding of the convolution effect on the time trace and the coupling effect on the vibration spectrum respectively. Large-scale model piles with built-in defects were constructed in order that the various testing methods could be verified. The experimental programme was found to be an extremely valuable exercise which will aid the interpretation of site results. Finally, site piles were tested in order to confirm the versatility as well as reveal the limitations of the different methods. As a result of this study, a successful combination of the sonic-echo and transient shock methods has been acheived. The instrumentation system has been developed in such a way that a single test result will allow information to be extracted both in the time and frequency domains. The Edinburgh method, using liftered spectrum and cepstrum analysis, is a significant improvement in the interpretation of pile test results. is Contents Page Acknowledgements Abstract Volume 1

  • Spotlight on Pile Integrity Test
    Piles & Deep Foundations A Spotlight on Low Strain Impact Integrity Test Concrete piles and drilled shafts are an important category of foundations. Despite their relatively high cost, they become necessary when we want to transfer the loads of a heavy superstructure (bridge, high rise building, etc.) to the lower layers of soil. Pile integrity test (PIT), or as ASTM D5882 refers to it as "a low strain impact integrity test," is a common non-destructive test method for the evaluation of pile integrity and/or pile length. A pile integrity test can be used for forensic evaluations on existing piles, or quality assurance in new construction. The Integrity test is applicable to driven concrete piles and cast-in- place piles. What is Pile Integrity Test (PIT) ? Low strain impact integrity testing provides acceleration or velocity and force (optional) data on slender structural elements (ASTM D5882). Sonic Echo (SE) and Impulse Response (IR) are employed for the integrity test on deep foundation and piles. The test results can be used for the evaluation of the pile cross-sectional area and length, the pile integrity and continuity, as well as consistency of the pile material. It is noted that this evaluation practice is approximate. 647-933-6633 Website: fprimec.com Email: [email protected] Use PIT Method To Evaluate : Integrity and consistency of pile material (concrete, timber); Unknown length of piles, or shafts; Pile cross-sectional area and length. Limitations of Use : Like all other non-destructive testing solutions, the low strain pile integrity test has certain limitations. These limitations must be understood and taken into consideration in making the final integrity evaluation.

  • Foundation Reuse for Highway Bridges
    Publication No. FHWA-HIF-18-055 Infrastructure Office of Bridges and Structures November 2018 Foundation Reuse for Highway Bridges Existing New Ground Improvement Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center U.S. Department of Transportation 6300 Georgetown Pike Federal Highway Administration McLean, VA 22101-2296 FOREWORD Given the high percentage of deteriorated or obsolete bridges in the national bridge inventory, the reuse of bridge foundations may be a viable option that can present a significant cost savings in bridge replacement and rehabilitation efforts. The potential time savings associated with foundation reuse can, in turn, reduce mobility impacts and increase the economic viability and sustainability of a project. However, existing foundations may have uncertain material properties, geometry, or details that impact the risks associated with reuse. Unlike a new foundation, an existing foundation may have been damaged, may not have sufficient capacity, and may have limited remaining service life due to deterioration. Assessment of these issues as well as foundation strengthening and repair measures and innovative approaches to optimize loading are discussed in this report. To better demonstrate the engineering assessment of key integrity, durability and load carrying capacity issues, the report contains fifteen (15) case examples where foundation was reused by the owner agencies. On new construction, the report looks ahead and includes discussions on foundation design with consideration for reuse.

  • Manuscript Preparation for International Conference On
    Proceedings of the 9th South African Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference, 13, 14 & 15 September 2017 – Salt Rock Hotel, Dolphin Coast, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal Upstream Raise Tailings Dams from a Low Risk Appetite Perspective: A Case Study R. van der Westhuizen1, G. Coetzer2 1Golder Associates Africa, Johannesburg, Gauteng, [email protected] 2Golder Associates Africa, Johannesburg, Gauteng, [email protected] Abstract This paper explores some controversy that was experienced when dealing with an international investor with an exceptionally risk averse paradigm on the design of an upstream raise tailings storage facility to be constructed in Limpopo, South Africa. The primary points of contention will be briefly discussed, with a single point regarding liquefaction under seismic loading being explored in more detail. Some of the proposed resolutions to the liquefaction concern will be presented and critically discussed, including the option that will most likely be the final resolution. Keywords: upstream raising; liquefaction; mine tailings 1 Introduction The design of a tailings storage facility (TSF) was undertaken for a greenfield development in the Limpopo region of South Africa. The design was conducted according to established norms and standard practice adopted in the South African mining environment, and the TSF was designed as a lined upstream raise facility, implementing a combination of established deposition methodologies consisting of daywall paddocking and spigotting. The foreign investor with a minority stake in the project voiced some concerns they had regarding the design. The investor originated from Japan, and their primary concern was based on the fact that design and implementation of upstream raise TSFs have been banned in Japan since 1982, due to failures of upstream dams in the 1970s (usually leading to liquefaction).

  • 3.3. Evaluation of Building Foundation Damage Basic Terminology
    3.3. Evaluation of Building Foundation Damage Basic Terminology: Damage: Destruction, deformation, inclination and settlement of a building foundation caused by an earthquake. Damage grade: Degree of danger of destruction, deformation, inclination and settlement of a building foundation caused due to earthquake. Retrofit: Secure a necessary aseismic capability reinforcing the aseismic capability of existing building foundations which decreases due to an earthquake, and assume an existing building to be reusable. Safety: Building foundation conditions which ensure the safety of human life even at a possible severe earthquake. Purpose: Methodology for evaluating safety of building foundations after earthquake or tsunami Important Points: Timing: Timing Evaluation Methodology Example Immediate · First announcement of · Reports of eye witness & building damage Feelings by local habitants · Broadcast Within few days · Quick inspection of · Evaluation into 3 ranks, building inspected, limited entry and no entry Within few · Damage survey in a · Judge the cause of settlement weeks typical area and inclination on building · Confirmation of building foundation After several · Damage Classification · Seismic capacity assessment months · Judge the retrofit method and design Grade: Grade Methodology Measures Minimum Reports of eye witness & Information to habitants Necessary Feelings by local habitants Better Instant evaluation Advice to habitants about Restoration Best Evaluation of safety of Advice to habitants about building foundation Retrofitting 198 3.3.1. Damage investigation flow chart The flow of building-foundation damage investigation is presented in Figure 3.3.1-1. Within two or three days after an earthquake, a quick inspection of the buildings is done to decide on the degree of danger from aftershocks and on whether it is necessary to restrict the use of the buildings (Step 1).
